A fellow teacher is of the opinion that I was born 100 years too late and the more I have considered that suggestion, the more it seems to ring true. Actually, the remark opened a window through which I could see why I have gone through my life feeling like I was missing something; feeling offended by something; always searching for something. I believe that I have been missing the Past with its higher standards of decency, morals, values, classical educations, close family ties, lives spent closer to the earth. Modern culture and modern life offend me in so many ways.

The rest is very good, but the first paragraph is what I connected with most...

There is so much to miss! The short lifespan, child labor, segregation, the Darwin lawsuits, baths only once a week, no air conditioning, no skydiving, no swimming pools, no insulation, inefficient heating, baths only once a week at most (I know I already mentioned it but it deserves a second visit)! I don't think I would even want to visit let alone live there.

But hey, to each their own it might suit you.

Air conditioning and heated bath water help polute the air. same with skydiving. Swimming pools are a waste of water that could be used to irrigate the family farm. baths are highly overrated...if we all stink the same we wont notice.

Well that would depend on which type of heating you use, electric heating pollutes the air, but propane or natural gas does not.
